"...that held my sleep and now contained my absence." Gorgeous.

A Science fiction ghost /horror tale is my alt-favorite genre after Classic ghost /horror stories. I would enjoy more. Favorite trope: a haunted & abandoned spaceship that disappeared year(s) ago & reappeared recently & a group must board & investigate. Thank you for this treat!

Great spooky background.Reminds me of a Ray Bradbury novel.well done tony.Nice change.

[@ClassicGhost]

Thank you kindly

[@simonholmes6473]

Yeah, has a real Ray Bradbury vibe. Ending on 'We are not the only colonists' even evokes that same feeling as 'There was a sound of thunder.'

[@ottopippenger1590]

An intriguing departure into denser and more philosophical prose- enjoying it very much so far, loving the increasing sound design/foley effects

[@roxanavasilakis9435]

Wow, thank you dear Tony,I'm speechless 🌷

[@ClassicGhost]

very glad you liked it all including the sfx

[@donaldmccleary9015]

Well....I like it! I want to hear the whole story! The multiple narrators is good, and it adds to the feel and setting of the story. It is definately sci-fi, creepy, techy, and has me guessing and wanting to hear more. The background noises and sounds are amazing. I am getting the sense of multiple organisms and spacecraft being trapped by the "space spider" and eventually being consumed or merged together. Or, is it all a hallucination..... You really know how to draw us in! Fantastic story and narration.

[@ClassicGhost]

that’s how i saw it too

[@thurayya8905]

I grok this❤

[@StoryVoracious]

Second listen, just to enjoy the richness and poetry of this production. Visions of space siphonophores and Major Tom. 🌌

[@ClassicGhost]

I didn’t see Major Tom until you mentioned it. I do now!

[@StoryVoracious]

"Want a axe to break the ice. Wanna come down right now."

[@merlapittman5034]

Fascinating! Excellent story!

[@carmenplangger9417]

"Hearing was part of her function" 😂

[@StoryVoracious]

"Way to go Mr Microphone. Show us all what we don't know. Centuries, secret societies. Our commander still. Space dog. Line secure. Space dog." No words of my own right now, I'll use someone else's. But Applause! and thank you.

Fantastic soundscape. Made me jump more than once 😊

[@andreac5724]

Great story

[@jeffhaley2706]

That was great Mr. Walker.

[@djr1943]

Extremely well done, Tony! This is a superb story made even more entrancing by your narration. I also appreciate the very interesting and appropriate sound effects which, to my mind, add immeasurably to the story. I am a bit of a sci-fi nerd and this is one of the best short stories i’ve read. Your use of language and metaphor is wonderful. Hope you continue to produce the occasional sci-fi gems such as this. As always, thank you for sharing your immense talent with us.

[@ClassicGhost]

I’ve always been a fan of sci-fi horror myself. i enjoyed doing the sound effects on this one

[@martiwilliams4592]

Creepy!!!!!Must admit I am no fan of science fiction--horror or otherwise. However, that said, you make anything you narrate sound good. Thank you, Tony. Promise I will try to give the genre a chance.😳☺☺

[@AmandaLee-in2yl]

Well written and well read.That was excellent I always enjoy your own work thank you Tony

[@ClassicGhost]

Thanks for listening

[@franken-pattern]

psychological horror is always a hit with me, because what's more terrifying than losing one's mind...?? Excellent story, sir!

[@lorettahendrix6790]

Very nice graphic

[@ianwhite5477]

Great piece of work. I’m also a long term fan of Hawkwind and Hawklords and particularly of Bob Calvert’s poetry.

Ooohhhhh this was excellent!! Very unsettling and beautifully understated. Exceptional work! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@noahhecker6672]

I think I can call this the literary equivalent of a bad acid trip. Well done sir

[@DenWell-SeedsOfChaos]

This was creepy and disturbing and I liked it very much. It chilled me in a way that lasted long after listening to it. I also think the way your voice sounded far off and with a slight echo was fantastic.

[@ClassicGhost]

Thank you very much

21st century classic lit and brilliant narrative. Glad you are on the earth, present. Scratch the dogs for me.

[@julierobinson3633]

Really enjoyed this one. Loved the line "we were not the only colonists". Only thing is I found the female narrator spoke a little too quickly, compared to your measured tones.

[@ClassicGhost]

she was a robot of course

[@MrsJanLong]

Awesome. The style of narration of this reminds me somewhat of Hawkwind :)

[@ClassicGhost]

+@MrsJanLong Lol!

Hello, brother 🚀

[@GrandduchessAnastasia-ko5rg]

Yikes! Thank you, Tony.

[@ClassicGhost]

Thanks for listening to that one.

[@tokatulu]

Now we just need a heavy chugging beat, distorted guitars, and wailing synthesizers. We’ll be riding that hawkwind straight into hell!

[@MaggieatPlay]

What a fantastic story; horrifying and intriguing at the same time. I like the echoic effect which, to me, gives a feel of empty enclosed spaces. Thank you, Tony. The noises were background enough to not be annoying to me. Or maybe because I have reached the point in brain healing where the input from the right ear is now starting to register in the brain and hyperacuity is subsiding. Who was the female narrator? I found her voice pleasant.

[@ClassicGhost]

She was a robot . Ai voice . My tinnitus has been very bad so that i am editing without headphones at the moment

[@AndreaDingbatt]

❤ And,I really Love the Thumbnail Art as well!!❤ (Jasper told me to tell you!!) We're both Becoming big Fans of your Writing especially!!

Sorry you didn't like them. I will be releasing a version without sound effects on the audiobook of Further Ghost Stories. Look out for it on Audible

Hi, Tony. Thanks for your reply. I was having difficulty hearing your voice over the noises in certain places. But the story and narration are really fantastic!

it’s blended photos. 2 real photos blended by ai

[@ProleCenter]

Ugh, too gross and unsettling. I don't often like sci-fi or body horror.

[@ClassicGhost]

the thumbnail, title and warning in the description didn’t give it away ?

[@ProleCenter]

​@ClassicGhost I didn't give this one a thumbs up, but neither did I give it a thumbs down. I'm not going to like every single story, but I want to support this channel and your fine work.
